The 33rd edition of Chic will see a variety of new brands launching. Calvin Klein, Pierre Cardin, and Gino Ferrari will be showing their luggage collections for the first time at Chic.

Massive brands outside the UK who are exhibiting for the first time in the UK include Sanstorm from Kenya, Luggage Jacket from the USA, SuitSuit from The Netherlands and Koloni from Colombia.

Chic's July show is held in three new halls at The Ricoh Arena. Each one has a different ambiance, which makes the buying experience more interesting.

This year, the Naples Chamber of Commerce has selected eight of its finest producers from the region to showcase their handmade collections exclusively in the UK, giving you the opportunity to offer your customers some unique products that they will not see anywhere else. Products will include handbags, scarves, clothing and footwear for ladies and gentleman.

There are always new launches at Chic, the latest amongst these is a new brand called Urban Country Bags who has created a large collection of contemporary bags that have had an enormous amount of thought put into their construction to store all the leads and accessories that come with a laptop, kindle and other necessary daily items. The concept is a true lifestyle collection enabling them to be converted for use in the city or the country, and optimised for sports pursuits.

The show organiser invites all visitors and exhibitors to join them on Sunday evening after the show for a complimentary drinks reception. It's a popular tradition at Chic, and provides a welcome way to relax and get to know suppliers better after a busy day buying.

Chic provides free shuttle buses from Birmingham International Railway Station (next to the Airport / NEC) and Coventry City Railway Station, which run at specific times during the day (see website for details).
